MUNCIE POWER PRODUCTS

I enjoyed almost 7 years at this company in the same department.  I was trusted with handling much of the departmental work and improved the quality and quantity of the output.  Gradually added new responsibilities and was asked to supervise department after the departure of previous supervisor.  I had never been a supervisor before and was not groomed for the position before being promoted.  Consequently, I used the opportunity to mold the department using my own ideas.  I worked with a young man just out of college and enjoyed what little collaboration we had.

Never had anyone with more knowledge of our department than I did.  This made it difficult to be able to learn the ropes of management.   This was my first opportunity ever to be in a supervisory role.  I regret not having someone who had the experience that I could learn from.

The hardest part of this job was tracking so many necessary but underwhelimg tasks that I often felt that I did not have the time to give to my creative work.  

The best part of my job was creating something that people were appreciative of and excited for.  Presenting a finished project that receives very positive feedback is very rewarding.

It is your traditional top down, command and control, outdated leadership. All decisions are made by three people--The Executive Team. These three people work, at most, 4 hours a day while they expect everyone else to work without breaks, overtime, and in fear of losing their job. The product quality is sub-par at best. There is turnover on a daily basis and there is no accountability for anything. They promote people, only if they kiss the ring, and can be submissive to these three people. Good ideas are not welcomed here, so don’t even ask.

Human Resources is completely worthless. Don't waste your time. 

If this sounds like a fun, healthy, and productive environment then you should work here. Otherwise save yourself some time and walk the other way.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Work is easy, if you like repetitive boring runs. No machinist qualifications required. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The raises there are the worst in Tulsa and not knowing which employees you can trust to be good co workers.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Management wants to say they want growth and leaders for that, but if you offer any good advice  someone in management won’t like it and  exclude you from future growth.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
You can go there and do your work and go home. You don’t have to worry about any interaction with anyone in management unless you mess something up.

They are pushing the vaccine.    They want to hire family and promote them above people with better qualifications.  The company is rampant with nepotism and woke culture.  They tell you they promote from within the company but that's a bold face lie.  I worked there 5 years and all promotions were from people they hired off the street.

I would not recommend muncie power to anyone looking for career advancement,  unless you just happen to be someone's family that works there.  They terminate the good people and keep the unqualified.     There engineering and production staff have a high turn over rate do to mismanagement and  nepotism.  

Find some place else to work , you'll be happier.   

I worked at muncie for 3 years. I've never seen so many people quit or get fired in such a short period of time. If you do not wear a tie, you do not matter. Management are just a bunch of snakes. HR is for the company, not the employee. I could go on and on about how crooked management is. The drama at Muncie is ridiculous, it's as bad as high school at times. The work itself is not bad. You're work schedule changes constantly, so dont plan anything outside of work, unless its on a Sunday. They like to tell you to come in Saturday as you're walking out the door on friday.

The cells changed when they moved locations. Some cell table got longer so it took more steps to complete each station. One cell went from 10 to 12 steps from start to finish and one step from boxing to station 1. Now it takes over 20 steps station 1  to boxing and inspection then 20 back to station one. So the expected minimum is impossible with one person. I cut the last table out of station to be leaner while I was there. No one asked the assemblers if the new layout is better. Engineers just did it. Mgmt expects the exact same results. 


Typical day on Muncie involved building the product that they sell and conversing with linemates in following the steps to build said product. 
Management was good and fair and was very professional. 
The hardest part of the job was standing on your feet for 8 hours a day 
The most enjoyable part of the day though was making connections with other employees and having fun while still getting the job done.

No one is excited to do their job.  Good benefits, low pay, low expectations.  Easy but unfulfilling.  Wear a tie! 

The pay they quoted me during the interview process is lower than the actual offer.  Management does not offer clear direction, lots of corporate speak, probably because they don't actually know what needs to be done.

You can slide by working as little as two days a week if you want to, but there is no advancement unless you are in Indiana or Oklahoma.  The bonus program offers diminishing returns.

I really enjoy the employees and people I work with at Muncie.   Management does its best to take care of employees and handle any issues that are brought to their attention.  Management  tries to make it an inclusive culture and to listen and take care of their people.  The company offers great training opportunities.  Overall, I think it is a great  place to work.  

Overall, Muncie has awesome benefits as far as medical. Etc. The management team is scared of change and lack common knowledge to help educate a person on basic functions of job. This company lack room for growth even with the promises of new location coming to North Tulsa. Willnot promote on job skills or performance, intimidation by anyone with more job knowledge, ideas, or ability to see room for improvements and productivity growth.
